Singapore isn’t a cheap travel destination, but that doesn’t mean you can’t save while you’re here! Hotels in Singapore are notoriously pricey, but the city’s clean and unique hotels are here to give the big chains a run for their money. Here are the top 10 hostels in Singapore for maximum comfort at minimum price.

Adler Hostel
Adler Hostel is a boutique hostel housed in an art deco shophouse in the middle of Chinatown. Just footsteps away from Sri Mariamman Temple, the hostel is decked in contemporary chic. Equipped also with a tastefully decorated lounge, it certainly feels more like a boutique hotel than a hostel. The curtained pods provide privacy and there’s even a fancy coffee bar to provide you with liquid energy.

hipstercity
Located in the city centre, hipstercity is an independent luxury hostel for budget travellers. You’ll get burned out from bunking with ten other travellers in close proximity sometimes, and hipstercity offers you a break from that at prices lower than hotels. Their single beds come with full-length privacy curtains that basically compartmentalise your space so you can lie back and recharge. If you’re travelling with your partner or friend, they offer double loft beds too! The hostel is also equipped with a cafe that morphs into a movie lounge by night!

Coral Hostel
Situated right in the heart of Bugis, Coral Hostel is a fantastic choice for heritage lovers on a shoestring. Travellers love the hostel for its squeaky clean interiors, comfortable beds, and superb location. Its beds are fitted with individual reading lamps! However, the rooms are quite small and there is no common space for socialising, so you’ll have to weigh your priorities!
